Damien Fahey

Damien Fahey was born on June 1, 1980, in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, USA. His interest in radio began at a young age, leading him to acquire radio equipment and set up a mock station in his teenage bedroom. At 15, Fahey secured an internship and an on-air DJ position at 94.7 WMAS in Springfield, Massachusetts. He continued his radio career, working for several years at WMAS before becoming a DJ at Kiss 108 in Boston. In 1999, he enrolled in Northeastern University to major in communications but left in 2002 after being hired by MTV.

His career significantly progressed when he became the host of MTV’s ‘Total Request Live’ (TRL) in 2002, replacing Carson Daly. Fahey remained with TRL until the show concluded in 2008. During this period, he also served as a guest host for CBS’s ‘The Late, Late Show’ in 2004 and was considered a finalist for the permanent role. In 2009, he hosted NBC’s ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ and later Hulu’s ‘The Morning After’ from 2012 to 2014.

A significant turning point in Fahey’s career was his involvement with ‘Family Guy’. He began voice acting for the show in 2007, and by 2015, he joined the writing team. His first full writing credit came in 2016 for the episode “Run Chris Run.” He further expanded his role by becoming a producer for ‘Family Guy’ in 2017, advancing from co-producer to supervising producer. He also currently hosts as a radio DJ on 104.3 MYfm in Los Angeles, California, a position he started in 2012.
